Interval With Pauses

What is an Interval with Pauses?

Description

This session is a paradigm of HIIT. It pushes you to your limits (90% personal maximum) with short periods of activity and short breaks in between.

During the active time, you must complete as many repetitions as you can of a short circuit of different functional exercises.

The objective is to maintain the number of repetitions of the circuit for the entire session. To do so, you will need to apply strategy since it is easy to become tired very quickly.
